LARMAN’S LAWS OF ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR

➤ Organizations are implicitly optimized to avoid changing the status quo middle- and first-level manager and single-specialist positions & power structures.

➤ As a corollary to (1), any change initiative will be reduced to redefining or overloading the new terminology to mean basically the same as status quo.

➤ As a corollary to (1), any change initiative will be derided as “purist”, “theoretical”, and “needing pragmatic customization for local concerns”—which deflects from addressing weaknesses and manager/specialist status quo.

➤ Culture follows structure.
